It Is A False Idea That The Saints Will Escape All The Judgments, Whilst The Wicked Suffer; For All Flesh Is Subject To Suffer And “the Righteous Shall Hardly Escape.” …so That Is An Unhallowed Principle To Say That Such And Such Have Transgressed Because They Have Been Preyed Upon By Disease Or Death, For All Flesh Is Subject To Death; And The Savior Has Said, “judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged.

I Am Tired Of The Misrepresentation, Calumny And Detraction, Heaped Upon Me By Wicked Men; And Desire And Claim, Only Those Principles Guaranteed To All Men By The Constitution And Laws Of The United States And Of Illinois.

It Is A Heavenly Banner; It Is To All Those Who Are Privileged With The Sweets Of Liberty, Like The Cooling Shades And Refreshing Waters Of A Great Rock In A Thirsty And Weary Land. It Is Like A Great Tree Under Whose Branches Men From Every Clime Can Be Shielded From The Burning Rays Of The Sun.

Governor Ford Is Sworn To Support The Constitution Of The United States And Also Of This State Illinois, And These Constitutions Guarantee Religious As Well As Civil Liberty To All Religious Societies Whatever.

According To The Laws And Constitution Of The People, Which I [the Lord] Have Suffered To Be Established, And Should Be Maintained For The Rights And Protection Of All Flesh, According To Just And Holy Principles.
